When someone has a food allergy it means they are allergic to the proteins in a certain food. When they eat that food they may get a skin rash, experience an upset stomach, have a persistent cough, or in serious cases experience anaphylaxis – which can cause your body to go into shock and make it difficult to breathe. Food allergies are very serious so even if you yourself do not have a food allergy it is important to keep our friends with food allergies safe, too!
